"A driver license is NOT necessary to buy a car or pickup truck delivered to your home and drive it around your property."
I'm guessing that doesn't happen a lot in New York City. :) Frankly, I've had to show one whenever I bought a car.
It would happen a lot more with guns (keep at home, shoot at private shooting ranges), if only NYC treated guns like cars.

Maybe they wanted your license for the ID value because of a loan (did you pay cash?) or business contract related reason. (There are 50 states and each could have it own laws but typically you can own a car without having a license to drive it on public streets.) Heck, you could even race NASCAR without a driver license as far as the government is concerned.
The "lets treat guns like cars" lie comes out of hardcore anti-gun talking points which is maybe why it rubs people who follow the gun issue the wrong way but why you don't have the same reaction.
